Airports Council warns a ‘no deal’ Brexit will slow air connectivity

What is happening: The Airports Council International has warned that if a no-deal Brexit goes ahead, there could be a negative effect on connectivity and growth in the air sector.

EU: The European Commission has tabled legislation that blocks carriers in the UK from expanding their EU footprint if a no-deal Brexit does happen. The carriers would also be unable to increase frequency on pre-existing routes.

Flights: The ACI believe 140,000 new flights would be lost across the UK/EU.
